[Poohbah]

You have a need to win, Poobah, it's evident from your windy postings, and from your lighter-than-air tagline.

Wow. Such a firm, factual rebuttal of my argument.

Moore's accomplished his goal. I fail to see why his supporters are upset.

Whenever I detect thinly veiled condescension aimed at Southerners, Christianity and good ol'-fashioned morality, I always know I have encountered a Yankee whose pedigree is woefully lacking.

I don't do "thinly veiled condescension." I am a devout Catholic who probably practices more morality than the average Southerner does.

As for condescension...the only Southerners I've known who spoke ill of anyone's "pedigree" were the product of four generations of intermarriage between first cousins, since they wouldn't DREAM of polluting their "pedigree" with the inferior blood of non-family members.

I had no need to rebut since that was not the purpose of my original post.

As to your Catholic piety, I do not doubt your devotion to that religion, but I would question your devotion to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Lastly, I am a transplanted Southerner and only take the online moniker of 'Cracker' to confuse. My lineage traces itself to the North, well above the Mason-Dixon, and all of my relations are still trapped in that decaying area of the country.

There may well be, as you suggest, some progeny in my family born of an incestuous relationship, but I know of none. I only brought your pedigree into question because of an obvious lack of good breeding that shines brightly throughout your postings.
